Th > fourth session of the third an­

morning by a thorough and very in­
teresting and instructive address up­
on the "Public Health Conscience,"
by William House, M. D., of Port­

pointed remarks.
Principal among
these, he declared that our only liv­
ing ex-president, Theodore Roose­
velt. is the greatest enemy of man­
kind. and has done more harm to
the American health than any other
one cause by advocating his strenu­

"I believe that the greatest ene­

preaches the policy of an extremely
active life. For the wonderful phy­
sique. for the keen mind, for the

After a long and animated debate the Institute of Frame voted 80 to 52
that the election of women to the institute "was contrary to Immutable tradi­
tion." and thereby the candidacy of Mme. Curie, who. with her busband, dis­
covered radium, was defeated This decision was not im|H»sed upon the five
separate academies which make up the institute. Mme. Curie's chances of
being elected to the place made vacant in the Academy of Moral Sciences,
however, are adversely affected by the institute's action. Scientific reports
have given more credit to Mme. Curie than to her husband for the researches
which resulted In the discovery of radium. It was when working with M

Hofman Mo., Jan. 14.—Charles
Williams, sixteen years old. was ar­

the death of Soney Stoffle and Roy
Plege, who were run down and kill­
ed by a freight train last week. Wil­
liams confessed that he hit Stoffle
on the head with a stone, and the of­
ficers say Williams fought with Stof-
fla and Plege. and that Stoffle. after
being struck with a stone, fell on the
railroad track unconscious, where
Plege was trying to aid him when the
train ran them down. .
Stoffle and Plege, aged 14 and 17
years, were from Falls City, Neb.

was the absence of any official dele­

a disagreement between the navy de­

over the date of the launching. There

Arkansas people present.
Following the launching the offi­

Besides them four others were seri-

Mrs. Norben. widow of the dead
man, insists that it was the deed of
an assassin, and says her husband did
not commit suicide, and had a horror
of explosives. She bases her assertion
on the fact that while in Europe re­
cently her husband was shadowed
continually, and only a few days ago
told her he had a presentment that
he was being hunted down In mistake
for another man.
The police investigation found
nothing to indicate that Norben had
committed suicide. His financial af­
fairs were in good shape and his
